Beehive: the MEEN newsletter

Beehive provides information about up and coming events and opportunities,
runs stories from Manchester schools to inspire good practice, reviews up to
date teaching resources and lists training opportunities.

In their environmental work the Foundation have run a programme called Valuing nature in mainstream policy and decision-making. The objective is to support some new ways of demonstrating the value of the natural world to influence business and government decision makers.
Examples of activities include: The RSPB has developed an indicator to measure the extent and impact of 'Nature Deficit Disorder' in children. Support for Fauna and Flora International's Natural Value Initiative is helping to mainstream consideration of biodiversity and ecosystem services into investment analysis. TCV begins a two-year research project to measure the impact of environmental volunteering. They have supported the outreach of botanic gardens.
